1. I ransomed you, but estrangement from me was ordained
And that may cast doubt on one noble

2. And I never knew a reason for it, by my life
Other than tedium with insipid verse

3. And I have made the lines overly long
Even if I have shown familiar affection of old

4. So do not tolerate what I deserve
Nor let the span of my journey be from my hide

5. For there is no response to lengthy prolongation
Other than employing mighty brevity
